What do we do when we find ourselves in the flight deck with a do not fly list CFI or Examiner. We will talk about this and more coming up next.

Hi Echo Hotel,
We are having some issues de-identify the audio so we won’t be able to put in e-mail 2. The first e-mail we should have a link to shortly.
Thanks for the explanation. I think there’s a learning opportunity from trying to dig in further so if there’s a way to get more detail, I’d gladly take it! It’ll be a while before I start pursuing my CFI but I’ve had both good and not-as-good instructors and examples of both are valuable!
